Re: UVM 2017/18: A Gutt Check

Hopefully not. Outshot 32-13 after two. But hey, going into the third tied with a full roster. Forget the game. This is one period, the next shift to win. Let's go.

This series is ****ing me off

oh well, at least i won't have to change my Sunday plans.

At least we blew tonight’s lead on our own lack of game plan. Totally playing to not lose.

Any team that blasts Gary Glitter over the PA should be sent to NAIA. I'm okay with bands playing it though

Are you watching the game? I expected a glue guy as well, but he is creative and speedy and elusive on every shift. Not sure if he came in this size, but he also looks bigger than he did early on? Great pass by Darrar, even better finish by Colton.

Neither did I. I expected a glue guy, but his surprise emergence has honestly been the best thing about this year

Esposito may be our best player. I didn’t expect it at the start of his year.

Sneddon went Blanleil instead. I like him and all, but I'd honestly prefer Vlad simply because he's the future, why not risk it with the guy you know will be around instead of playing it safe with a guy who might be playing his last career game tonight? Blanleil always gives 100% so I don't think the "my career might be over" bump is going to be a thing.

Of course now that I say that Blanleil is gonna score a hat trick and make me look stupid

I hope so, but...

Spearing, yes. Nobody called on the ice, officials watched replay and quickly called it. Vlad show tomorrow!!

That's the first thing I thought of when I heard about this. Agree it's a bit ridiculous unless the guy gets off a rocket of a slapper. Didn't see Esposito's last night, but that certainly wasn't the case with Stevens. Still dumb by Espo -- given the Stevens thing happened just a couple of weeks ago, it's not like he can claim he wasn't aware.

I did see it...it was a VERY late offsides whistle; Esposito was at the top of the circle before the whistle blew! He was mid wind-up when the whistle finally blew. It was unreal.

They called that against Nolan Stevens on the Friday night game at Gutterson. I wonder if the additional 10 minute misconduct is an automatic for that penalty because it is ridiculous to lose a top player for 12 minutes for something that benign.

Esposito got a 10 minute misconduct for shooting after the whistle in addition to a minor?

Re: UVM 2017/18: A Gutt Check

So fans can moan. I get that. And maybe i need to understand better that this is a fan site, Teams and coaches DO need to say refs will be refs. Because the truth beyond all complaining is we are down 0-1. Stolen or whatever. We are down 0-1. So, pick it up, play better, outplay any one or two or ... calls. Play better tomorrow, make it 1-1, and outplay them from there. Blatant or not, that is the reality that needs to be dealt with.

Totally agree. Bad refs or no, the team cannot be losing games when they're up 2-0 after two. Hopefully they learn something and come back strong tonight.

Privitera suspended tonight. Not sure if it's automatic or whatever

It was a game misconduct on the score sheet. Either the league looked at it and decided it warranted a DQ or it was a coaching decision.. my guess is it was the league.
